Uncle Johns Elk Creek Campground - Elk Creek, Erie, PA

[TerrellBFly]

Appears this property is up for sale, due to an issue between the owner and the township. Just wanted to get that info out there, as this may affect stream access in that area moving forward for lake run trout and smallmouth. Fear is someone will buy it, and post it. Does anyone have any knowledge or insight?

I heard they were closing but have not seen it up for sale anywhere. Do you know where the listing is?

Lifted from a FB post:

"Just received confirmation after following a tip from a page member that Uncle John's Elk Creek Campground is permanently closed.
Allegedly, this all stems from a sewage issue that wasn't resolved. Anyone who has been there or fished there in the last 20 years has allegedly seen the sewage from Uncle John's dumped, and not very covertly, into the creek. I guess it's finally caught up with them."

I guess that could be "an issue between the owner and the township".... Glad I mostly fished upstream, when I fished for steelhead.
